PPP poll shows Burke is a contender in gubernatorial election

http://political-heat.blogspot.com/2014/04/ppp-poll-shows-burke-is-contender-in.html

Burke trails Walker by 3 percent, but neither candidate holds a clear majority


..........Among Democrats, Burke received 67 percent favorability ratings, with 27 percent remaining unsure. As that unsure number rises -- and it will when the election season begins in full-force -- expect Burke’s favorability among Democrats to increase, and possibly tightening the race even closer than the numbers today indicate.

More moderates, too, show support for Burke than for Walker. Though 9 percent are unsure of who to support at this time, more than half of moderates (53 percent) would pick Burke over Walker (38 percent).

As with all midterm elections, this one will likely come down to who can pull out the highest turnout -- specifically, the demographic groups that they can motivate to go to the polls. There is significant age gap, for example, between age groups. Walker leads in voters who are over 30 years of age, while Burke has a significant advantage in the 18 to 29 demographic. ..............
